Dumesnil Family

tommy_m_77651 — 2012-12-23 01:31:05Z

My wife's grandmother on her fathers side was Lydia Marie Dumensil daughter of Joshua Theodore Dumesnil and Bertha Cecile Hebert. She grew up in Franklin, La and graduated from Franklin High School in 1926 or 1928. She married Eugene Joseph Watkins and moved to Groves, Tx where he worked at Texaco. We have been to the old house near Baldwin where there is three or four huge live oak trees that are registered in the Louisiana Tree Registry. I believe that Joshua Theodore her father was an overseer at the Alice C Plantation.

Unfortunately i know very little about him historically. My dad was adopted by Leo at birth and Leo was not very close to his family, some kind of falling out. But I can picture him in my head. I have really no photos of him. Although my dad would know more (although he is not online)

If you want you can email me the pictures at Lizd1972 at h o t m a i l d o t c o m

I would be interestd in knowing more about Leo F. Dumesnil,
who his parents were, etc. My Mom was a Dumesnil and I have
done some research on the Dumesnils but have never been able
to connect Leo, to our family. I have some pictures of Leo
and his sister Angelica and would like to know f we are
talking about the same family.

Alfred Dumeney was also my Great Great Grandfather. My information was that he was born in Canada in 1840 and by 1870 he was living in Saginaw, Michigan USA. The 1880 census also showed him in Saginaw and he seems to have married Mathilde Legros in Saginaw around 1880. My belief is that he died in Michigan around 1893 as Mathilde remarried and had additional children with another man.

I too would love to know more about him, especially if his true surname was Dumesnil.

Seeking information on my great great grandfather Albert or Alfred J. Dumeney. I was told the spelling could also be the other two listed in the subject line. All I know is that he was born in Canada and married Matilda Legros (Lagrue?) Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Re: Dumeney - Dumensil - Dumesnil

steelethree1 — 2004-09-03 21:46:20Z

Thank you for responding to my message. Do you have an Alfred or Albert born in Canada in your research? He was married to Matilda Lagrue (or Legros) born in Michigan or New York?

My mother was a Dumesnil, they came from the area between Baldwin & Jeanerette. We just had a reunion of the
Dumesnil family in the country at the old house, built around
1830's. I come from one of the brother, Joseph Odil Dumesnil.
I do not have my book with me at thid moment, I have a book
just on the Dumesnils. I think there were seven children. The Father was Joshua Theodore Dumesnil, mother was a
Langlinais( Adelaide).

We can trace the Dumesnils in Canada back to France in 1734. The name is Francois Dumesnil (called Ladouceur) and he came to Canada in 1759, with the French Army.

I don't know anything that far back. I was trying to find out more so that hopefully one day I will be able to trace my name that far back.
Any piece of furniture that old must be beautiful though.

Do you know of the Dumesnil that was a furniture craftsman in Louisiana around 1850? I own two corner cupboards that I was told were in the early governors mansion. I would just like to know a bit more about this craftsman in case I want to sell the cupboards. They are superb craftsmanship. Gorgeous. I am going to get them appraised.
